Masonite Beams AB has boosted its UK distribution network  with Masonite I-Joists and systems now available from sixteen locations via twelve stockists. Before a major re-launch last year by owner Byggma Group, Masonite I-Joists had had a relatively small presence in the UK for over twenty years. The company's distributors now include Eden Frame, Fforest Timber Engineering, Harlow Bros, Hathaway & Hoyle, Code 4 Roof, Total Floor Systems, Kingdom Timber Engineering, Sustainable Building Systems, Monmouthshire Timber, Thornbridge Sawmills,  Touchwood Homes and Wyder Engineered Timber Systems.

This brings to over 500 per week the number of floor kits that the Masonite network can produce, with design capability now sitting at an impressive 5,000 designs per year.

Distributors are located in Scotland, England and Wales, ranging from Kirkcaldy in Scotland to Sandwich on the south coast, all backed up by extensive stock held in the UK for 72 hour delivery.

Commenting on the growth of the distribution network, Neil Lewis, who heads up the new Masonite team for the UK, said:

“We're concentrating on developing a specialist network of distribution partners in order to facilitate the best design and engineering solutions for builders. The provision of extra services such as KPI reporting, quarterly design reviews, on-site training for installation teams and bespoke fabrication services is an important part of what we can offer.”
